number of views script

[afe]

Hello, I am looking for a script that shows the number of views for a picture, video and etc. Please and thank you!

[afe]

Anyone please?

counter.inc.php:

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION))    {
    session_start();
}
$page = urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].'.counter');

if (!file_exists('counter/'))    {
    mkdir('counter');
}

$visits = file_exists('counter/'.$page) ? (int)file_get_contents('counter/'.$page) : 0;
if (!isset($_SESSION['counter']))    {
    $visits++;
    createFile('counter/'.$page,$visits);
    $_SESSION['counter'] = 'counted';
}

function createFile($file,$content)    {
    $mode='w+';
    $fp = fopen($file,$mode);
    fwrite($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp);
}

?>

Add this to the very top of your page where you want to add the counter:

<?php include('counter.inc.php'); ?>

And to get the visits put this where you want it:

<p><?php echo $visits; ?> visits.</p>

One visit is counted per browser session, aka. when you open your browser and visit that page it's a visit.

Edit: Previous zip taken out

here, i made this one (but it only works for the whole site's visits)
demo: http://masterproject.freehostia.com/counter/hits.php
read the readme and do the stuff stated.
(it also comes in blue, green, and text, or you own custom images.)

Edit: i combined thetestingsite and my script to get this, you include and echo it the same, but a formated table outputs when you echo it.(you can use the images from the zip, or text):

<?php
$type=".gif";  //type of img ex. .gif .png .jpg (include the period) or type text if you want it to be text
//don't define below if type is set to text
$url="red/"; //path of images with / ex. red/ . (not complete url, just relative to the php file)(name images in the folder 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)
$digits="5"; //number of digits. leave blank to leave it only as long as it has to be
//no need to edit below
if (!isset($_SESSION))    {
    session_start();
}
$page = urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].'.counter');

if (!file_exists('counter/'))    {
    mkdir('counter');
}

$visits = file_exists('counter/'.$page) ? (int)file_get_contents('counter/'.$page) : 0;
if (!isset($_SESSION['counter']))    {
    $visits++;
    createFile('counter/'.$page,$visits);
    $_SESSION['counter'] = 'counted';
}

function createFile($file,$content)    {
    $mode='w+';
    $fp = fopen($file,$mode);
    fwrite($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp);
}

if ($type != "text") {
   while(($digits-strlen($visits)) <0) {
   $digits+=1;
   }
   $digits=$digits-strlen($visits);
   for($i=0;$i<$digits;$i+=1) {
   $img.="<img src='" . $url . "0" . $type . "' />";
   }
   for($n=0;$n<strlen($visits);$n+=1){
   $length=str_split($visits,1);
   $img.="<img src='" . $url . $length[$n] . $type . "' />";
   }
  } else {
  $img = $visits;
  }
  $visits="<table border='0' align='center'>";
  $visits.="<tr><td><center>Hits:</center></td></tr><tr><td>";
  $visits.=$img;
  $visits.="</td></tr></table>";

?>

Thanks for those amazing counters guys! One question for tech_support, how come I am getting these errors on my page? http://www.athletes4excellence.com/layout.php

[tech_support]

You just need to create a directory called "counter", because it's not allowing you too. File permission errors. Make sure the directory has 777 permissions.

Great thanks! umm, now what do I do if I want each view counter to be different (example: each video to have different counter)

[tech_support]

If your address bar changes the URL for each different video, you'll be fine.
Can I see a demo page where you put your videos? Thanks.

[afe]

Well, I don't have it setup yet. So I'll be fine with each web address being different? What if all the videos are in one page? like this video page... flocasts.org/flowrestling/flowrestlr/index.php

[tech_support]

I'd suggest putting links to the movies, and displaying them one by one.
